We’re going to need a real URL to see this in action. Do you have a link rel=’icon’ meta tag for the favicon in your template header.php?
Favicon support is largely up to the browser. Have you tried a different browser, cleared the cache, tried creating a bookmark?
Add this line in your <head> tag
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />
Hello, find here (http://dev.xiligroup.com/?p=1029) in second chapter of post when I opened bbpress: a short example how to add favicon line without modifying basic header but by adding lines in functions.php of your theme.
Hope helpful…

What advantage does it have over adding a line in header? I think its better to add a line than call a function.
